Darlene “Dee” Ida Warp, age 84 of Adams Wisconsin, went to join her Lord, at home surrounded by family, on Friday May 24, 2024.
A Celebration of life will be held on Sunday June 2, at the Roche-A-Cri Lions Park, Arkdale Wisconsin, from 2 to 6, with food starting at 3 pm.
Dee was born November 2, 1939 in Newton Township, Marquette County, to the parents of Arden and Leona {Schrank} Kottke. She grew up in Coloma, Wisconsin and graduated from Westfield High School in 1957. She married Samuel Hans Warp Sr. on January 4, 1958. She worked for over 20 years at Don Smith Sales in Adams, where she made many friends.
In her younger years Dee enjoyed dancing and playing the accordion. Later she enjoyed bowling, traveling, Nascar, her flowers, gardening, and canning in the summer, watching the Packers, and sewing and baking the rest of the year. She always insisted on dark chocolate and old country music. After retiring, her week focused on regularly attending exercise class with the same group of ladies. Which carried over to lunches, birthday parties, and much laughter.
She is preceded in death by her parents Arden and Leona Kottke, older sister Marcella “Sal”, younger sister Virginia “Gin”, and grandson Chase A. Schweitzer.
She is survived by her four children, Sam (Jean) Warp Jr, Cheryl Schweitzer, Scott Warp, and Steve (Bobby Sue) Warp, 9 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank St. Croix Hospice for the loving care they provided for mom in her final weeks.

For generations, Mile Bluff has been providing healthcare services to residents throughout Juneau County and the surrounding areas. The medical center can continue to meet these needs thanks to the amazing team of dedicated professionals that remains committed to providing progressive, high-quality care at a local level.
While Mile Bluff is a smaller, independent health system in a world of large corporate organizations, the work and dedication of the care team is a testament to the power of rural healthcare. It is only fitting that during the graduation season, Mile Bluff Medical Center, Mile Bluff Pharmacies, and Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation supported the next generation of care providers.
Mile Bluff Medical Center annually awards $2,500 in scholarships between five local students pursuing further education in a healthcare-related field. This year, the winners included: Morgan Belille (Mauston), Brooklyn Gruen (Royall), Chloe Rubel-Healy (Necedah), Brett Flietner (New Lisbon), and Jacey Walker (Wisconsin Dells).
Mile Bluff Pharmacies annually awards a $500 scholarship to support a Mauston High School senior pursuing further education in a pharmacy-related field. This year, the scholarship was awarded to Alexxis Vang.
Due to the generosity of donors, Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation was able to offer scholarships to high school seniors for the first time. The foundation awarded $4,000 in scholarships between four students pursuing further education in nursing. The winners included: Kathyrn Forster (Mauston), Colten Welter (New Lisbon), Marah Gruen (Royall), and Jaqueline Barrita-Santos (Wisconsin Dells).
The medical center, pharmacies and foundation would like to congratulate all the area graduates and wish them a healthy and successful future!
